12v Test Light Replacement Bulb?

[The Shop]

Does anyone know where to find a replacement indicator bulb for a 12v Matco test light #MD115B? I Know that I can probably get one off the Matco truck for a ARM+LEG. But, does anyone else know where to find a replacement Bulb?

Did you find one? I also need to buy one.

I would check radioshack. In the hobby cabinets usually toward the back of the store. They usually have all the odds and ends I have ever looked for and have a large selection of small hobby type bulb. Just bring the light with you for size and make sure its a 12v bulb.

I have a cheap plastic test light that a friend found in a used car he bought and gave me. It uses the same bulb as my old Volvo used in the license plate lights. Post a picture of the bulb, someone here has probably replaced one just like it in their car. (Mine uses a 3893 bulb)

A single contact type, there are many auto bulbs that are suitable.

3893 bulb

From my bulb box, more common ones are #53 and #57, except the latter has a fatter head and may not slip into a restricted area.

My Lisle test light is similar (possibly the same as?) to the Matco and uses a 3022 12V 5W automotive festoon bulb, would probably work in the Matco.

Thanks for the recommendations, I will give them a try. Unfortunately the old bulb was broken and discarded before I got chance to see it.
